When I see a child who is hungry, I see a person who is humiliated.

I have tried to keep memory alive... I have tried to fight those who would forget. Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices.

Some stories are true that never happened.

Now, when I hear that Christians are getting together in order to defend the people of Israel, of course it brings joy to my heart. And it simply says, look, people have learned from history.

Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking and loving and dreaming.

I have learned two lessons in my life: first, there are no sufficient literary, psychological, or historical answers to human tragedy, only moral ones. Second, just as despair can come to one another only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.

Just as man cannot live without dreams, he cannot live without hope. If dreams reflect the past, hope summons the future.
